Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 830 Gibson

Among the several places to visit in Yundian, Zhang Zhong's favorite is XSBN.

It is said that the weather is hot, but Zhang Chong does not feel this way. He is a person who loves summer, so the temperature can be tolerated, and the summer in Jiangyang is even hotter.

However, although the temperature of XSBN is not too high, the sun is very hot, and the skin feels a little painful after walking for a while without an umbrella.

And bringing an umbrella is not just for shade, Zhang Zhong and his team came at the wrong time, it happened to be the rainy season, and it rained almost every day.

The rain on XSBN is a lot more naughty, and there is always no warning at all, and it will fall as soon as it is said.But the same, the rain comes and goes quickly, and sometimes it may wait until the umbrella has just been opened, and the rain has stopped.

Although Zhang Chong felt that XSBN was good, they left after staying here for a few days. There are really many mosquitoes here.

In order to prevent mosquitoes, they need to be careful everywhere, otherwise they will be easily recruited.

"I heard that there is a water-sprinkling festival in April, but unfortunately we came at a bad time."

On the way back to Jiangyang, Zhang Xingjun looked at the photos in the camera with regret.

When Pengpeng heard about Songkran, he immediately said, "I know about Songkran, we learned about it in class."

"You have also learned about the Songkran Festival." Zhang Xingjun laughed.

"Of course." Pengpeng raised his head, "I can still recite the text in it. On this day, people carried buckets and basins and came to the street early. Clear water had already been prepared on both sides, and the water in the clear water Some are perfumed on the ground, others are sprinkled with flower petals."

"and then?"

"We only need to memorize so much." Pengpeng said confidently.

The adults were all amused. It is impossible for the primary school students to explain too much in the text. Peng Peng also knew that there was a Songkran Festival. As for the origin of the Songkran Festival, if the teacher extended it, he would explain it to them. If he didn’t extend it They don't know.

And even if it is extended to them, it will probably only leave an impression.

"The Songkran Festival is a festival unique to some ethnic groups, such as..." Hu Huifang began to popularize the knowledge of the Songkran Festival to her granddaughter.

Taking her out to travel is not just for her to play, but also for her to appreciate the cultures from all over the world and open her eyes.

Although they didn't make it to the Songkran Festival this time, they came here anyway, so I'll tell her about it by the way.

……

After returning to Jiangyang, Zhang Zhong sent the manuscript of "Blind Spot 2" to Chen Qing.

The writers in the company haven't had any new works recently, so Chen Qing's main task recently is to help Feng He, who just won the Nebula Award, create momentum.

For this matter, Chen Qing was quite concerned.

Chen Qing said that doing publicity for Zhang Chong has no sense of accomplishment, because it seems that Zhang Zhong's popularity will naturally rise without much effort. In the face of countless excellent works, those publicity seems to be worthless none.

Zhang Chong could understand Chen Qing, because when Zhang Chong approached Chen Qing, he didn't have the idea of ​​letting Chen Qing build his reputation for him, but just wanted him to help him take care of mundane affairs.

Now that Chen Qing has found what he wants to do, Zhang Zhong thinks it is pretty good. Anyway, now that the company has taken shape and Xu Yang is helping with many things, it is no big deal if Chen Qing wants to do more work as a writer's agent.

Xu Yang and Chen Qing are very different.

Chen Qing was born as a lawyer. He loved reading classics of literature and history since he was a child. Later, he became interested in being a writer's agent and wanted to join the book industry.

Although Xu Yang has been working in the publishing industry, he is not a cultural person, but a pure manager and a businessman.

In Xu Yang's mind, the first thing is always how to earn more benefits.

Chen Qing handed over the business management of the company to him step by step, and he was able to do it very smoothly.

During the chat before, Chen Qing joked that the more leisure he has now, the more salary he gets.

In the beginning, Chen Qing's annual salary was only about 20 yuan, which was a little less than what he earned as a lawyer before, but his workload was much higher than that of being a lawyer, and he often had no rest during the holidays.

In the past few years, his salary has been raised a little every quarter, and a big increase every year. Now his salary before tax is more than 3000 million, and after paying taxes, there are tens of millions.

Although he was still far behind the top professional managers, Chen Qing was only in his forties.

In their 30s, the annual salary of purely working part-timers is more than 1000 million after tax, and there are not many in the country.

Moreover, Zhang Zhong is already planning to modify his salary structure. Since he wants to do more work related to writers' agents, he will be paid proportionally to the writers' royalties he signs in the future.

For example, if he signs a 20.00% share with a certain writer, then he will get 20.00% or 5.00% of the 15.00% for himself, and the remaining [-]% or [-]% will be reserved for the company.

This is not the final ratio, but it probably means this. Chen Qing directly changed from a fixed annual salary to more pay for more work.

If Chen Qing is very powerful and signs another writer like Zhang Zhong with billions or even tens of billions in annual royalties, even a [-]% commission would be very scary.

Of course, it is not realistic to sign another Zhang Zhong, but it is still possible to sign a few more Feng He or Zhao Re.

A few Fenghe or Zhao Nuo would add up to hundreds of millions of Huaxia coins in royalties for a year, and the commission is definitely not cheap.

Although Zhang Zhong hadn't told Chen Qing about this proposal, Chen Qing was very enthusiastic about signing the author.

In addition to helping the wind and building momentum recently, he is also preparing for the next World Science Fiction Convention to be held in Jiangyang. He hopes to get in touch with more science fiction writers, and maybe reach cooperation with some writers.

……

Zhang Zhong didn't have any preparations. After finishing "Blind Spot 2", he began to prepare for the "A Clockwork Girl" series.

Like the readers, he also felt that it was a pity that the world view of "Wind-up Girl" was not there, so he wanted to write some other stories based on the world view of "Wind-up Girl".

Recently, he has been thinking about this matter, what to write, where to start, whether to write a side story or a sequel.

In the end, he decided to write a side story first to try his hand, and wait until he was sure that he could write a long novel before starting to write a long novel.

There are many stories that can be written in "A Clockwork Girl". For example, Gibson, an ugly and perverted scientific madman, appears once and a half times in the book. This is a very interesting character, and he is very perverted.

But what is the reason for his abnormality?

Through the character of Gibson, Zhang Zhong developed his own associations, and planned to use Gibson to fill the world of "A Clockwork Girl" more completely.

　Thanks to [Taste Yuda] for the [-] rewards, and thanks to [hsclaker] for the [-] rewards
